The threshold frequency for a metallic surface corresponds to an energy of6.2 eVand the stopping potential for a radiation incident on this surface is5 V. The incident radiation lies in

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

hv0=6.2 eV,  eV0=5 eV

from Einstein's photoelectric equation

 hv=hv0+eV0= 6.2+5 = 11.2 eV

⇒                      hcλ=11.2

∴                         λ=hc11.2=1108.9Å

It belongs to ultra-violet region.
